I always felt that preeclampsia only happened mostly to someone overweight. I was 5'4 and 108 lbs. I also only gained 24 lbs. during my preg. and had no swelling at all during my bout with HELLP. Anyone else on the petite side experience PE and HELLP? I know it's a strange question but the specialist I saw said I had that in my favor for another pregnancy. He said my BMI was really good. I am grasping at straws at this point and trying to encourage myself to look at the positive things rather than the negative.
